The 3 strikes law was deemed unconsitutional in France because it went no-where near the courts and assumed guilt straight away - not because of the objections of the ISPs

In addition Virgin have made it quite clear - again in the press release - that they themselves will NOT be monitoring anyone's connection. But if it came to court action (civil or criminal) over copyright infringments relating to the Music service, I'm sure Virgin would be a interested party

There is no such proposal in the UK AFAIK - but we will have to see the powers OFCOM are given
